It’s a 1977 GMC Suburban, 350, with a 4-speed transmission, and little to no exhaust. Still needs winter tires because this thing slides everywhere on Baldini’s. What do want to know about it, Oppo?

I thought so - didn’t look like a 4WD hub on the front wheel, but I wasn’t sure. 2WD more fun in snow anyways. And a 4 speed! I loved driving these things, but haven’t driven one with a stick.

Oh totally, I love the Suburbans as well, but I’ve already got my ‘06 Sierra crew cab with six seats and a pickup bed. I also love the more curvaceous front end of the early Squarebodies like yours. Any rust?
This is the one with a manual, it’s an ‘84.
I’m also going to try and look at this ‘79 which is located in the same direction. It’s got a plow, which I’d love to have, but it’s an auto.

Apologies for being That Guy...but the GMC always seemed badge-engineered so you could say, “I was totally OK with paying more for the exact same vehicle”
So, school me...?

The GMC *was* almost always the badge engineered option, a vehicle with pretty much the same options standard as the mid-level Chevy package and slightly more than it (typically). That was the joke - that a GMC of any trim level is automatically better than even a top trim Chevy... even if it isn’t.
At one time (by which I mean the late 40s) the GMC had a whole bunch of extras like stainless steel parts, fancier transmission/heater options, etc. etc., but GMC has been trading on that while offering a differently badged mid-range Chevy for a very long time.
